Power connection Do not connect mains to the desk top power supply before connecting the power supply to the router. Connect the DB9 female connector from the desktop power supply to the main unit. Tighten the screws to assure a proper contact. To connect mains to the desk top power supply you need a mains cord with IEC 320 connector.
Revision: 0 6 3.3. Maximum cable length The maximum cable length for an RS-232 connection is per definition 15m. Longer distances can be installed depending on the environmental conditions of the installation site. It is up to the installer / user to secure a proper installation of the RS232 connection. 4. MIDI connection Via the MIDI bus system several routers and control panels can be interconnected. The standard MIDI interface is used on all Network MIDI control ports.
Revision: 0 7 4.3. Pin-out and cable type The pin-out of all Network MIDI ports follows the standard MIDI specification. A 1 to 1 cable with 5pin DIN connector is used.

Revision: 0 13 5.3. Vertical interval trigger The NTW-VD3232 router provides vertical interval switching. If vertical interval switching is desired you have to connect an analog VIT reference signal to the VIT input. The NTW-VD3232 provides a looped VIT input. Please terminate the loop with 75 Ohms if loop output not in use. Switch 7 on the configuration switch SW A enables or disables the VIT sensing on the VIT input.
Revision: 0 14 6. Connecting video signals to the NTW-VD3232 The NTW-VD3232 router offers standard 75 ohms BNC connectors for digital video in- and outputs. All digital video inputs are terminated with 75 ohms. 7. Control and connection of Network systems, interface protocol 7.1. Important notes regarding the Network Control Protocol 7.1.1. Binary Code The strings shown on the next pages are in binary coded format.
Revision: 0 15 If none of the cases a) or b) is fulfilled the message will also be transmitted on the MIDI. Then if any unit on the MIDI ring recognizes any of the cases a)/b) or c), the message will stop at that point. This means that the message will only be returned once on the RS232. However, if none of the units on the MIDI ring recognizes any of the cases a) to c), the message will return to the originator (the unit which received the message on RS232).
Revision: 0 16 7.5.2. Video crosspoint set Only for use with Video routers. Command for setting of crosspoints: 1010nnnn 0kkkkkkk 0vvvvvvv - nnnn is the matrix address from 0 up to 15. - kkk kkkk is the output which shall be controlled. kkk kkkk = output number 0 = output 1 127 = output 128 - vvv vvvv is the input which shall be connected to the chosen output. vvv vvvv = input number 7.5.3. Crosspoint status request This command is used for status request on Audio and Video routers.
